Confessional Gap
Konfessionalität und Religionsunterricht denken
Antonia Lüdtke
What does denominationalism mean today? How can it be advanced as a concept of religious education in the face of condensed pluralization movements? Confessional religious education is once again under scrutiny. In the context of this dissertation, a desideratum of reflection is set against a stated loss of plausibility: The leading metaphor „confessional gap“ symbolizes the current talk of confessionality as in need of clarification, ambiguous, and in a state of change. Through a multifaceted approach, different
aspects of the confessional construct are examined against this background, so that finally a new picture of confessionality is drawn, one that offers various possibilities of connection for dialogical forms of organization of religious education.
